Fedora 27: Kernel 4.14.14-300.fc27.x86_64 stops during booting.

Hi there,

I have just installed kernel 4.14.14-300.fc27.x86_64 through "sudo dnf update". However, upon rebooting my notebook, it would stop at "Started OpenSSH server daemon...". Right now, I need to use prior version of the kernel, which is kernel 4.14.13-300.fc27.x86_64, to log into Cinnamon DE.

Compaq Presario F763NR
Nvidia 304.137

I bet I will have to wait for the newer Nvidia driver from the testing repo, and this issue would disappear

Re: Fedora 27: Kernel 4.14.14-300.fc27.x86_64 stops during booting.

Hi there,

I have just received the new Nvidia driver "kmod-nvidia-304xx-304.137-3.fc27.x86_64.rpm" and Kernel 4.14.16-300.fc27.x86_64, through the system update.
However, during booting, the Kernel 4.14.14-300.fc27.x86_64 would still stuck.

Thank you so much.

sometimes depending on your particular hardware setup you will find certain kernels carry regressions and won't work whereas newer builds fix that regression and do. I've only ever seen this a couple of times over the years in Linux across many distributions and they have been fixed relatively quickly.

The latest example being the DRM module for my AMD hardware. It is not working with 4.14 LTS kernels but works again with the newer 4.15 branch.
